NARANASAN MO NA BA: A SPOKEN WORD PIECE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPECT AND SENSITIVITY TO OTHERS

In the past years and up to the present time, we have been faced with so much conflict and violence. In my journey, I came across stories of struggles as shared by our young people. Let me share their voice, their stories in a form of Spoken Word, entitled, Naransan mo na ba?

These are just some of the actual stories of young people who have experienced different forms of conflict in their lives. There is actually a part in our minds that cause all of these — and it’s called subjective condition. Subjective condition triggers negative and violent views in our minds, biases and prejudices that further contribute to barriers towards achieving a peaceful society. Such stories, as you may all know, still continue and sadly, had even worsen especially that another venue to do such negative acts, like social media is accessible to many. And these stories have been going on and on from one generation to another. In all of these, I would like to invite all of you in a moment of reflection. Let us ask ourselves this question, “With the stories that I shared with you through my spoken word piece, what can we do?”
